Rose Marie Brennan was born on Jan. 12, 1936, in Raritan, Ill., the daughter of Ervin and Rosetta (Fryer) Brennan. She married Harry Billups on May 20, 1958, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Raritan, Ill.
Rose had previously been the Sherrard Grade School secretary for seven years before working for various insurance companies until the past 10 years when she worked for her husband's office at Country Companies, Moline.
Rose was a member of the St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, Coal Valley. She was a devoted wife and mother. She also spent many hours spoiling her grandchildren.
Rose collected antiques and butterfly art. She also enjoyed gardening with wildflowers and enthusiastically decorating for every holiday. Rose's gift for cake-decorating had started out 25 years ago as a hobby but soon turned into an art form.
Rose is survived by her husband Harry; daughters and sons-in-law, Raelene and Thomas DePorter, Milan, and Renee and Michael Kelly, Rock Island; a son, Remy Billups, Lisle, Ill.; a sister, Mary Margaret Day, Blandinsville, Ill.; and five grandchildren, Tad, Joanne and Matthew DePorter, all of Milan, and Alex and Noah Kelly, both of Rock Island.
